It has just come to light, that Everton could sign a ‘promising’ winger who scored six Premier League goals last season for less than £8.4m, according to a recent report.

Sean Dyche’s men ended up surviving relegation pretty comfortably last season even with an eight-point deduction.

The onus will now be on Dyche to guide the club back to a mid-table finish and to do that, he’ll need to be backed in the fast-approaching summer transfer window.

Finances are expected to be tight but they could sign an exciting winger for less than £8.4m.

Everton could sign Jacob Bruun Larsen for less than £8.4m

According to Sport Bild, Everton are showing an interest in Hoffenheim winger Jacob Bruun Larsen this summer.

The 25-year-old enjoyed a productive loan spell at Burnley last season, netting six times in the Premier League despite being in a relegated side.

Having now returned to the Bundesliga side, it has become apparent that he will be sold and West Ham United are another club interested in his signature.

Hoffenheim have put Bruun Larsen up for sale and could allow him to leave for less than £8.4m, which seems like a feasible fee for Everton to outlay, even with their financial woes.

Further, he sits in the top eight per cent for successful take-ons, only amplifying that notion.

Quite clearly, his underlying statistics are very impressive and if he can just improve on his output, Everton could secure one of the bargains of the window.
